When you write as much as I do, there can be a tendency to repeat oneself or even – perish the thought – contradict a past blog. Well, we all change our minds on some things, don’t we? And there are always saddos who will trawl through literally thousands of blogs in order to find and expose that contradiction. On this subject, I have been 100% consistent. Suicide murderers.
Note that I do not use the term suicide bombers. Whilst the term is clear in what it says, not all bombing is bad. For instance, when Vulcan aircraft bombed the runway in Port Stanley in the 1982 Falklands War, the missions were heroic and necessary, psychologically if not militarily. There’s enough about the word bombers to use it in a positive context. There is no such ambiguity about the word murderers.
I thought about this again last week during the atrocities in Sri Lanka. There was nothing noble about the mass murder of innocent people in what was a terrorist attack. The ones who carried it out were suicide murderers who murdered people with bombs.
It’s good and bad that the suicide murderers died in their horrific acts. It’s good that they ended their own lives and even better given that it is very unlikely they survived their own deaths arriving in Paradise. What use would they be in Paradise anyway? They were little more than flying mince. No supernatural creator, if he actually existed, would want to put them back together again. The bad news is that they will never face trial for their evil doing. We can only hope their demise was as painful as possible. The misery they have inflicted on the victims and their family and friends can only be imagined.
Let’s be clear what these deranged, psychopaths of ISIS actually are: they were evil mass murderers. Bombers yes, but that was simply their means of murder. Say what they are. Suicide murderers.
